The Second World War delayed the publication of this definitive edition by a long time, more than a decade after the author signed the sheets, and the year after his remains (or remains approximating to his) were interred in Sligo in a great national ceremony.

A near fine set, with the publisher’s prospectus loosely inserted.

Wade 209 and 210.
